Rain...

 Hello friends!

I'm up on the Technique Junkies blog to share three pretty cards, using beautiful stamps and a new stencil from Technique Junkies. 

I have to say that this sentiment set stole the show today!!!  Let me show you what I created!

This first card is 'pretty in pink'.  It features a brand new stencil, 'Rain', and the fun new stamp set, #SS141 Rain Sentiments. I also used an older stamp that I love, #SD642 Rain Dance. First, the image & sentiment were stamped with Black Versafine, for a vivid silhouette image. I stamped the image again onto pink dotted patterned paper, and fussy cut the umbrella and shoes, adhering them over top of the original image.  I used just the 'rain' on the stencil, some gray ink & an Ink Blending Brush.

Next up, is a card using the entire stencil, umbrella and all. The stencil was laid down on white cardstock, and spritzed with Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss (wish you could see the shimmer!). The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Black Ink. I distressed the edges a bit, then dry embossed the panel, matted it onto black cardstock, then a white base. Very easy card, and super quick!

For this last card, I used Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink, and an Ink Blending Brush, using the stencil as the focal point. 

I have loved this release, and cannot WAIT for you to see next month's beauties!

So glad you stopped by today!

Be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and do a little crafty shopping!

Hugs and smiles,
